I do like visiting my local Oxfam

As regular readers of this blog will know there is a rather good Oxfam in Ilkley. I have over the years managed to obtain a number of hobby related items including 150 or so original Hinton Hunt figures.

A couple of years ago they opened a secondhand bookshop and I have bought some good books from the shop.

This morning I dropped in and managed to buy a copy of Scott Bowdens book on the Grande Armee of 1813 for the princely sum of £2.49.

About Me

I have been wargaming since 1969 and over that time have collected many different periods.
Over the last 7 years I have gone back to my wargaming roots re discovering the rules I used in my early days including the classic works - Charge and the Wargame.
In 2017 I started collecting Hinton Hunt and other classic Napoleonic figure ranges.
